Kinnie Starr hails from Vancouver, British Columbia. Her sound has been described as similar to fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette, but with a key difference: by being on an independent label, Violet Inch Records, she has been able to keep complete artistic control. One reviewer, doing the Alanis comparison, said, “Kinnie’s not an angry woman looking for a place to yell — she has something to say and she’s found her own forum. You should listen.”

Kinnie earned a degree in women’s studies and fine arts at Queen’s University in Kingston. She has since used this, along with her feminist viewpoint, as a background theme in her music. At a women’s music festival, Kinnie took a few minutes to get the attention of everyone. She said, “I don’t know if people are into it or not, but I notice women seem to say ‘I’m sorry’ a lot. So I was wondering if you’d all be into saying ‘I’m not sorry’ like, let’s say it 10 times.” The audience obliged her.

In 1996, she released her first album, Tidy. It was received very well for an indepenent artist, and received critical acclaim from some reviewers for women’s magazines, such as Inga Muscio for Wig Magazine. “Kinnie is going to be a huge star. Because she is so emotionally real, vulnerable, articulate, talented, and loving—things many people fear greatly in themselves, and thus, look for in others—people are going to glorify her in an insanely unrealistic way. “
